Growing Up: How to Be a Disciple Who Makes Disciples

One day my life changed forever. What was the turning point? I realized the importance and power of discipleship. Two men took the time to invest in my life (David Platt--author of Radical and Follow Me, as well as the Foreword of my book--and Tim Lafleur). Since then I have read nearly every book on discipleship, searching for answers to my questions. Now I want to share my findings with you. Growing Up takes the guesswork out of growing closer to the Lord and equipping others to do the same.

About the Book

This book has the potential to change your life!

I think I’m a lot like you. There was a time in my life when I wanted to grow in my faith but just didn’t know how.

* I owned a Bible, but didn’t understand it.
* I heard others pray, but didn’t know how to communicate with God.
* I wanted to share my faith with others, but didn’t know where to start.
* I had friends at Church, but lacked deep relationships with anyone.
* I wanted to hide God’s word in my heart, but lacked a plan for memorization.
* I read the Scriptures, but didn’t know how to apply them.

Maybe this is where you are today.

* Underline in it.

How can I promise that this book will change your Life?

This book is built on solid biblical principles. God’s Word, which He promised would never return void, imparts faith and produces a life change.

These principles have been tried and tested over the past decade in various discipleship groups.

My life has been impacted immensely through discipling relationships. I share my story of how God radically saved me from a life of drugs and alcohol in Chapter 1.
